I struggled my whole life
Just to get shit right
Having babies and thinking I was in love
Little did I know when push came to shove
That I'd be alone trying to raise them babies on my own
Seems like Everytime I thought things might get better
That man I counted on became a quitter
Should of known not to expect more from him
Shit why should I think he was different as the rest of them
So I raised them babies on my own you know
Struggled with things trying to get them grown
Fought daily with demon it was hard
Just trying to keep good and evil apart
But I got through it these battles of mine Just trying to put it all behind
All alone again kids are grown and gone
Thinking about the things in life I did wrong
Praying that my children learned from my mistakes
Do what they need to do this is what it takes
I just gotta remember I gotta let it go the regrets I have had
I made it through it alone and I should be sad
I'm proud of becoming a strong woman today
That's just the beginning of the thing I want to say
